Patent EP-0777314-A2 (EP)
Inventor: FUJITANI SAKAE
IPC: H02K3/18
Filed: 1996-11-29
Abstract: This invention provides a two-phase motor which is applicable to a field where high rotation precision is required as in an FDD spindle motor, which requires a low cost, and which can maintain stable characteristics free from magnetic balance fluctuation between the two phases due to assembly. This motor has a ferromagnetic stator having N stator salient poles and a rotor magnet having M poles. N and M are selected to be both even numbers so a relation N:M = 2:2n - 1 (n is a natural number) holds. The N stator salient poles are divided into first and second salient pole groups of N/2 stator salient poles on which windings are concentratedly wound. The stator salient poles belonging to the first and second salient pole groups are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction of the stator. The phases of the windings of the stator salient poles belonging to the first and second salient pole groups are sequentially opposite to each other in the circumferential direction in units of groups. The windings of the stator salient poles belonging to the first and second salient pole groups are sequentially, electrically connected in the circumferential direction in units of groups to respectively form first and second phases, thereby providing a two-phase arrangement.

Abstract: A load multiple instruction may be executed in a superscaler microprocessor by dispatching a load multiple instruction to a load/store unit, wherein the load/store unit begins execution of a dispatched load multiple instruction, and wherein the load multiple instruction loads data from memory into a plurality of registers. A table is maintained that lists each register of the plurality of registers and that indicates when data has been loaded into each register by the executing load multiple instruction. An instruction is executed that is dependent upon source operand data loaded by the load multiple instruction, prior to the load multiple instruction completing its execution, when the table indicates the source operand data has been loaded into the source register. Also, a store multiple instruction may be executed by dispatching a store multiple instruction to the load/store unit, whereupon the load/store unit begins executing the store multiple instruction, wherein the load/store instruction stores data from a plurality of registers to memory. A fixed point instruction is executed that is dependent upon data being stored by the store multiple instruction prior to the store multiple instruction completing its execution, but the executing fixed point instruction is prohibited from writing to a register of the plurality of registers prior to the store multiple instruction completing.

IPC: G11B5/02

Abstract: A magnetic fingerprint image is implemented by having the user coat his finger tip with a magnetic powder and transferring the powder particles to the document surface. The magnetic fingerprint image is then covered by a thin, non-removable, plastic film that is optically opaque but is magnetically transparent. The print is scannable by a magnetic head whose output signal consists of a sequence of electrical waveforms characteristic of the ridges and depressions that define the fingerprint. The fingerprint image may be angularly rotated about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the print prior to fixing the fingerprint image onto the document. Because the image is covered by the opaque film, the outside observer cannot determine the angular orientation of the image relative to the document edge. A magnetically encoded "address" readable by the scanning magnetic head before it reads the magnetic fingerprint itself, informs the scanning apparatus of the fingerprint angular orientation. By means of this information, the magnetic head is rotated through the proper angle so that it is correctly oriented relative to the image before scanning the image, or an angularly fixed magnetic head may scan the rotated image to obtain "scrambled" fingerprint data. This data is converted to digital values, the digital values are stored, and then a computation, taking into consideration the angular position of the read fingerprint image, is performed transforming the "scrambled" values back into to their normal values for comparison with the data derived from the user's actual fingerprint.

Abstract: Method of detecting yarn unevenness appearing as periodic
variations of a spun yarn. First, plural yarn samples are taken.
Then, k distinct spectrograms are obtained according to the number of
the samples. These k spectrograms are averaged to create an overall
spectrogram. The heights of adjacent channels in the overall
spectrogram are averaged to create a reference spectrogram. Either the
overall spectrogram or the distinct spectrograms are compared with the
reference spectrogram to find those portions of the channels that exceed
the reference spectrograms in height. These exceeding portions are
displayed. Therefore, realistic defective added nonuniformities
contained in the spun yarn can be easily detected.

Abstract: A differential recirculation
monitor (22) quantitatively determines the degree of
recirculation in a fistula (26) by comparing the
conductivity of blood entering the fistula to the
conductivity of blood being withdrawn from the
fistula. A discrete quantity of a high conductivity
marker fluid is injected into the blood entering the
fistula, altering the conductivity of the blood
entering the fistula. The altered conductivity
blood enters the fistula and, if recirculation is
present, co-mingles with blood in the fistula,
altering the conductivity of the blood in the
fistula in proportion to the degree of
recirculation. Blood withdrawn from the fistula has
an altered conductivity related to the degree of
recirculation. Quantitative values of the
conductivity of the altered conductivity blood
entering the fistula and the conductivity of the
blood being withdrawn from the fistula are measured
and a difference determined. The determined
difference between the conductivities is used to
determine a quantitative measurement of the degree
of recirculation in the fistula.

Abstract: A hybrid composite structure is formed from layers of gore strips (12), polymeric matrix composite (71) comprising a resin impregnated slit tape or tow, and a central honeycomb layer formed from a plurality of rectangular sections (72). The first two steps include forming a plurality of the gore strips and providing a mold, or lay-up mandrel (10). Thereafter, a first set of gore strips is applied to the lay-up mandrel to form a first gore strip layer. Subsequently, the composite material in form of resin impregnated slit tape or tow is applied to the first gore strip layer to form a first composite material layer. Next, a second set of gore strips is applied to the first layer of polymeric matrix composite, opposite the first gore strip layer, to form at least one other gore strip layer. This creates a first sandwich structure having gore strips as the first and last layers of the structure. Thereafter, the layer of honeycomb material is applied to the last layer of the first sandwich structure. Finally, a second sandwich structure, substantially identical to the first sandwich structure, is formed on the side of the honeycomb layer opposite the first sandwich structure. Thus, a hybrid composite structure is formed having first and second sandwich structures separated by a central honeycomb layer.
